pyspotify 2.x is a full rewrite of pyspotify.
While pyspotify 1.x is a CPython C extension, pyspotify 2.x uses
CFFI to make 100% of the libspotify C library
available from Python. It works on CPython 2.7 and 3.2+, as well as PyPy 2.1+.

pyspotify provides a Python interface to Spotify’s
online music streaming service. With it you can access music metadata, search
in Spotify’s library of 20+ million tracks, manage your Spotify playlists, and
play music from Spotify. All from your own Python applications.

Since the previous release, pyspotify has become thread safe. That is,
pyspotify can safely be used from multiple threads. The added thread safety
made an integrated event loop possible, which greatly simplifies the usage of
pyspotify, as can be seen from the updated example in
examples/shell.py.
Audio sink helpers for ALSA and PortAudio have been added, together with
updated examples that can play music. A number of bugs have been fixed, and at
the time of the release, there are no known issues. For more details, see the
full changelog.

The pyspotify 2.0.0b1 release marks the completion of all planned features for
pyspotify 2.x. The plans for the next releases are fixing bugs as they surface,
incrementally improving the documentation, and integrating feedback from
increased usage of the library in the wild.
